Head coach Matt Mehler commented, "This was a tremendous, hard-fought victory over a competitive Washington squad. Great comeback Ben and Mike, and cudos to singles players Simon Brennan, Max Zhang, and Eric Wang for their stellar play. A big shout out to Oscar Su '25, who fought valiantly, though in defeat. All four of these players are on the rise and will only get better as the season progresses."
